Crafter’s Toolbox
This 12”x12”x16” box is a craft-based character’s best friend. It can be opened in several different ways, and each configuration reveals all the necessary artisan’s tools, with an enhancement bonus of +5, to perform three specific crafts. The particular craft skills are decided when the toolbox is created, and the available tools are not limited by the initial size of the box, as it opens to whatever size is necessary to accommodate the tools needed. The tools are part of the enchantment and disappear whenever the box is closed.
Common skill sets found in crafter’s Toolboxes are: blacksmithing, weaponsmithing, and armorsmithing; sculpture, painting, and pottery making; trapmaking, locksmithing, and finesmithing; and bookbinding, calligraphy, and leatherworking; but a particular box could just as easily have shipbuilding, cobbling and basketweaving. Crafter’s toolboxes found as randomly generated treasure should have their skills determined in advance.

Moderate conjuration, Caster level 9th, Craft Wondrous Item, fabricate, secret chest, Price 10,000 gp, Weight 10 lbs.

Yep... one of the problems I thought mine had. "Yet another Crafting item"

Here's mine. I think I know what's wrong with it, but I'll wait and see what others say.

I love it, but c'mon. You didn't reward gonzo weirdness?

Let's add "Diviner's Trepanation Drill" to the list of "it got in on weird."

To use this item, you have to drill a hole in your head. Come on now...

I'm not planning on offering commentary on any of the specific winners, since they've already been chosen, and the competition has moved on. Also, I worry about anything I say looking like Sebastian's "sour grapes."
However, since this has already been dubbed the "sour grapes" thread, I'd just like to add my voice to the growing list of people who aren't all that impressed with the final 32 items. Some of them are really great, certainly better than anythin I even considered entering, but too many are poorly written, badly designed, or mechanically flawed.
I think someone else commented on the items that made it through just because they were weird. I should have pulled out the "Box of Obscene Noises", "The muskrat Fur-lined Chainmail Jockstrap", or "The Succubus's Pop-Up Book."
I think a lot of us are looking at one or two items and saying, "My offering was passed over for that?" Sour grapes... sure. But just because they're sour, doesn't meant they're not real.
